Popular Post SimonA Posted December 26, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Russell generously made me another portrait pattern of my Pop at the beginning of the year, I did two stack cuts of 4 and made up my own frames. I also laser cut the back of each frame and gifted them to my family for Christmas. heppnerguy, barb.j.enders, frankorona and 16 others 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 I bet the family love them. Great job and great gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachnlearn Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) I was thinking of cutting a bunch of wood portraits of myself, but all I could do is donate them to the military torture units. I'm sure your family will love your gifts. Its becoming rare that a gift is thought about and made, just grab a tv gadget and they will mail and gift wrap it.

planeur Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Very real to the photo! Simon I understand that you did those 8 pieces with a laser equipment, but what is the technique to transform the photo to a model for the laser machine? I would like to do that kind of piece with my scrollsaw. Thanks planeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 About the best present a person could receive and will be valued a long time in the future. Great pattern and great cutting. Also the frames are perfect for the wood portrait too Dick heppnerguy SimonA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
